Episode 9: Professor Ben Hine Discusses Family Breakdown and Alienation

In this episode we go to the United Kingdom, to speak to Dr. Ben Hine, a professor of applied psychology, a researcher and author who has extensive experience in the areas of family breakdown, divorce, and alienation. I’m very excited to bring this to you as our first “professional” episode, as opposed to a personal story episode, hopefully the first of many.

 

In this episode, I ask Professor Hine to teach us precisely what PA is, how it works, if it’s real science or a possible hoax (like FlatbushGirl claims), how do we know it’s not just proof that one of the parents is a bad parent, how the system can be improved and what we can do as a community. 

 

Besides his work studying parental alienation, Dr. Hine is a victim of it himself, and he shares his personal story with us as well.
